2013 Tour de France Contenders

Thibaut Pinot (FDJ)

9 / 14

Last year, FDJ’s Thibaut Pinot delighted French fans by winning Stage 10, but the Tour’s youngest rider wasn’t finished: He continued to race aggressively throughout the next two weeks and ended the race in tenth place overall. This year, the 22-year-old looks to be on track for another electrifying performance following a string of high stage placings and a fourth-overall finish at the Tour of Switzerland.
